Some advice on my solo build

I run

-Balanced Landing or Sprint Burst

-Kindred (A must for Solos)

-Iron Will

Inner Strength or Blood Pact (I don't like wasting time with SC)

Any tips on making my solo build anymore solid?

    Resilience pairs quite nicely with Iron Will. I'm personally a big fan of stacking Resilience + Spine Chill.

    Funny story I actually was an IW/Resilience/Spine Chill user before I got Inner Strength now I run Kindred/IS

    Well yeah, Kindred and Exhaustion Perk are always nice. Personally, I stopped using Dead Hard since it always exhausts me on the ground and I don't like the other Exhaustion Perks.

    My Build is:

    - Kindred

    - Borrowed Time

    - We're gonna live forever

    - Any Perk I feel like using (At the moment Any Mean's necessary. It's funny to see Peoples reaction when I drop shack pallet at the start of the match without context. Also, it gives free 500 BP.)

    That sounds hilarious. I run WGLF and BT when I'm purely farming bloodpoints along with prove thyself

    My farming Build would be:

    - We're gonna live forever

    - For the People

    - Prove Thyself

    - Any Mean's necessary

    For the People makes you to the Obsession, if you escape or die as the Obsession, you get 1000 or 1500 BP, depends if you die or escape. It also gives 500 BP when used. Yes, you are broken for 90 seconds and probably even injured for longer but shouldn't bother you if you are decent.

    Prove Thyself gives you an massive BP boost when working on gens together. Do 1 Gen with someone from 0 to 100 and you'll have 75 % of your Objective Category filled out.

    Any Mean's necessary I explained. It gives 500 BP and is hilarious.

    WGLF is an obvious choice.

    I also use a Commodius Toolbox with Gloves and Extra Charges. Sabo'ing a hook gives 500 BP and the Gloves prevents the Killer from being notified.

    That's a pretty decent farming build might have to try it soon

    My must have for solo survivor is sprint burst. All the rest perks can be anything you can imagine. I can play without sprint burst as well, but it would mean I get only 0.002% chance to escape. With sprint burst chance raises to 6%

    My sister loves to run Sprint Burst. I find it detrimental unless it's paired with Fixated. At least you're walking faster while you save your Sprint Burst

    I used to run BL too but since there are many maps where you barely get to use it, I switched to Sprint burst (if you use it, just please don't walk everywhere like many others do. Or at least run Fixated with it).

    Iron Will and Spine Chill are part of all my builds (I might give up Spine Chill for a challenge but I admit it's quite hard - I'm too used to it - for the awareness and speed boost - it does make a difference, it saved me many times, helping me open the gates faster as the killer was approaching or when time was short - wouldn't have made it otherwise).

    Other perks I use along:

    Kindred or Bond (some like to use bond to lead the killer to their mates, I run it exactly for the opposite reason - I'm hoping that teammates will work on gens if I keep the killer away from their location - sometimes it works, other times it doesn't - depending on mates. Also helps when you need to heal).

    Inner Strength + Quick and Quiet or Head On.

    Dance with me + Lithe or Quick and Quiet (fast vaulting and entering a locker can confuse the killer).

    And as someone stated above, Resilience works well with IW and/or Spine Chill.

    IT depends on what you want to do. You can be a solo survivor and still try to be part of the team, but often you will be sacrificed so others escape, especially if you play with a swf team.

    You can try a "i survive"-build, that helps you to survive even hook suicides and dcs in your team.

    If you get really good at looping, and sacrifice some defensive style perks, i like:

    • Kindred
    • Windows of Opportunity (You never know what pallets solos are dropping)
    • Dead Hard (Or other Exhaustion Perk)
    • Open Handed (Extra range on auras) / Borrowed Time / Other

    I still need to level up Jane for head on but I'll definitely be experimenting with Head On. I'm thinking Deception, Quick and Quiet and either Lithe or Head on but I still need to buy Êlode

    Ahhh Tru3's build. I've yet to try it but I've seen him use it in so many of his videos and it seems pretty decent

    I tried this combo. It gives you bad habit to save your sprint burst. You actually don't need to save it. 40 seconds cooldown is nothing compared to wasting ######### ton of time walking when you trying to save your sprint burst. Best way to save your sprint burst is catch cooldown on last second. In this case you can run plus you have sprint burst ready if you need it.

    Windows of oppertunity is always an amazing perk for solo's. Don't let your pride stop you from taking it . It's more then a training wheel perk

    Never again will you run to a pallet only to realise a teammate used it earlier

    True. That's why I've ditched SB and found my base exhaustion perk BL. I love it way more because I can run like there's no tomorrow and I can use it whenever I want but there are some maps that don't have spots to use BL. Might have to experiment with Head On soon

    Definitely, Used it in Kate's adept and freaking loved it but I need to unlock it on my Nancy so I can experiment with it some more

    I would recommend Lithe over Balanced Landing. BL is situational at best, since a lot of maps have 1-2 areas where you can actually use it and Shelter Woods can spawn without a hill, which leaves a single place to use it. There's also Dead Hard, which isn't necessarily the most consistent thing, but it's a very strong perk if you know how to use it.

    Kindred is a perfect choice.

    Iron Will is very powerful, though for solo queue you may want to bring BT to prevent randoms from throwing themselves into the killer's arms off hook and depriving you of your safe unhook points, or DS to prevent getting farmed.

    Inner Strength is a good enough idea because you can't count on randoms to heal you, though really, I personally opt for Bond to find people easier and it also helps you get information on where people are being chased and if you're about to get sandbagged. For fast self-healing, people really sleep on the medkit/Botany combo, though this does require bringing in an item.

    Other good solo-queue perks include We'll Make It, Alert, Spine Chill, Desperate Measures, Empathy, and Small Game.
